The storms we’ve faced this week have tested Cook County but MWRD captured 7 billion gallons of stormwater, sparing countless families from worse flooding.
As your Commissioner, I remain committed to protecting homes, keeping families safe, and ensuring clean water for all. #cookcounty #chicago
MWRD Overflow Action Alert graphic showing how the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP) works. Illustration depicts a house connected to local sewers, which can overflow into waterways if TARP tunnels and reservoirs are full. Text explains that TARP is designed to reduce flooding and pollution caused by combined sewer overflows. The release notes that the McCook Reservoir is 91% full, Thornton Reservoir is 7% full, and Majewski Reservoir is empty.
MWRD Overflow Action Alert page with circular yellow 'Act! It’s an Overflow Action Day' logo. Text explains that TARP captured 6 billion gallons of sewage in the past week and that combined sewer overflows may occur during heavy rain. Recommendations for residents include delaying showers and baths, flushing less frequently, and waiting to use dishwashers and washing machines. Additional links provide resources on stormwater management, sewer systems, and flooding preparedness. Overflow Action Alerts are a joint initiative of MWRD and Friends of the Chicago River.

I had a great time at the annual Illinois Democratic County Chairs' Association summer event. It's always motivating to have a room full of energized Democrats! @ildcca.bsky.social @preciousmwrd.bsky.social

Last week I made the trip to Springfield to do what I was elected to do; fight for cleaner water for downstream communities, support industrial reuse to power Illinois's quantum future, and champion good government reforms.
